    Yeah. Nobody in the middle of Vermont would like that either. Or off of Tampa. Or outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma. You have to have the right taste.

    Not really.

    I mean - imagine a time when San Diego bartenders told a young brewer named Greg Koch that no one in San Diego would drink hoppy bitter IPAs. That prediction turned out right.

    I'm not sure if my interest will change by the time you arrive to our beautiful state, but I've really been wanting to try Beard Envy...

    I have 3 extra bottles of Beard Envy. It's pretty good. Red Brick has been great with their barrel aged stuff

    Their 20th anniversary stout is the only beer I've had from them and it was awesome so I believe it.

    Not to threadjack, but I'll also moving to Kentucky this summer, and not far from Lexington - so thanks to everybody for the recommendations.

    While I'm sure I'll be spending a decent amount of time in Lexington and Louisville, is anybody on here by chance from Danville? I'm pretty sure I already know about what little there is there, but it would be cool to meet a fellow BA or two at the Beer Engine when I move to town.

    Cheers!

    Wooster, you need to go to the Bluegrass Pizza Pub on Main St. They roll through lots of good kegs there. Ask for Colin when you're there. Great guy and owner of the business. Tell him Jake sent you and you'll get the royal treatment. Really cool place. Beer engine is nice, too. But, I prefer the Pub.

    I thought I would bump this up since I am moving in less than 2 weeks. If anyone is looking for anything specific from Atlanta distro, BM me. Highlights include: Red Brick, Monday Night, Boulevard, Cigar City (likely Jai Alai only), Ballast Point, Great Divide, Lost Abbey, Lagunitas, Westbrook (Gose, IPA), New Belgium, Terrapin, The Bruery, Wild Heaven.

    Thanks
